17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant snapshot of life within a Gypsy family encampment in England during the mid-19th century, this evocative photograph captures four generations coming together. Dressed in their traditional attire, the elder members of the family sit proudly on handmade chairs, while the younger generations gather around them, likely listening to stories of their heritage. The scene takes place outside, with a horse-drawn caravan and a vardo wagon in the background, symbolizing the nomadic lifestyle that has defined the Gypsy community for generations. The Gypsies, also known as Travelers or Romani people, have a rich and complex history that dates back over 800 years. Originating in northern India, they began migrating westward in the late Middle Ages, eventually settling in Europe. Over time, they developed a distinct culture and language, which has persisted despite facing discrimination and persecution in various forms throughout history. This photograph, taken in 1863, offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Gypsy family during a time when they were often misunderstood and marginalized by society. The image captures the warmth and closeness of the family, as well as the resilience and resourcefulness that have allowed the Gypsy community to endure and thrive despite the challenges they have faced. The intricately designed chairs, made from natural materials, reflect the family's creativity and craftsmanship, while the horse and wagon represent their ability to travel and adapt to new environments. Overall, this photograph is a powerful reminder of the importance of family, tradition, and the human spirit, and serves as a testament to the enduring strength and resilience of the Gypsy community.
